The Story of Our Name

The name Cross & Glory is not just an identity—it's a tale of two nations, a lineage in Britain, and the birthright of America, all woven into the fabric of our brand.

Our founder was born on American soil, a son of the "Old Glory," but his roots extend across the Atlantic to the rich, vibrant heritage of Britain. His ancestry traces back to the tenacity of the British people, whose symbol—the Cross of Saint George—proudly adorns their flag. This blend of cultures is encapsulated in our name, Cross & Glory, representing the intersection of these two proud nations and the shared love for the timeless joy of puzzles.

The seed for Cross & Glory was sown during our founder's childhood, when he would spend countless hours immersed in jigsaw puzzles. Often, he would be joined by his British grandmother, a lady of grace and wisdom, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for fine art and the intricate joy of puzzling. As he looked at the Cross of the British flag, she would share stories of their family's history and the indomitable spirit of their ancestors.

Years later, under the broad stripes and bright stars of the American flag, our founder turned this cherished pastime into Cross & Glory Puzzles. The glory of his American dream is reflected in the pursuit of excellence and commitment to create a top-tier jigsaw puzzle brand.
